    His wild throws were prevalent during his early games with the SOX. For the most part he corrected that problem and was one of the leaders in OF assists. Defensively, Renfro was not JBJ, but, like I posted earlier, imho, he played an above average RF. And unlike, JBJ, he was, obviously, a threat at the plate.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Ah, hell, why not?
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I never once thought last year that Renfro was a defensive liabilty in RF.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, I seriously doubt the SOX FO could have acquired thru trade a quality 1st baseman any sooner then the TDL.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    My perspective of the problems at 1st base lies on people being fooled, including me. Dalbec finished the 2021 season with a barrage of HR's. Someone rode on a horse thru the streets of Boston proclaiming "Dalbec has finally arrived." Fast forward to 2022 and Dalbec was gonna be the power hitting 1st baseman and Casas was waiting in the wings if Dalbec faltered. Well, Dalbec did falter and Casa was not waiting in the wings, he was waiting to get healthy. So, I blame both Dalbek for fooling the SOX and us and I blame Casas for getting injured. As for trading Renfro for JBJ, I have no explanation for that move other then the fact that Cora is a big JBJ fan.

    I wouldn't even dignify 2020 as a season.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Based on how many long term signings go bad, and we've had front row seats on many of them, I agree 100% with you.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    But in JD's defense he did give the SOX 3 very good years out of the 5. And he was an important cog in the SOX winning it all in 2018. So there's that. He's very far from being the worst FA the SOX ever signed. There's been a few in recent SOX history who've been a whole lot worse.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Look at the bright side; the SOX could have signed him for 6 years instead of 5.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The Yankems probably shouldn't have traded Gallo.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    He's definitely been hitting the ball hard these last two games. He's already my 2nd favorite player on the SOX.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Well he did drive in a couple on a hanger.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Bogey 4-5. Boreass must have lit a fire under Bogey's ass.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX are the AVIS of blown leads.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    ...
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just heard on the KC feed that the SOX have 25 blown leads this season, which is only 2nd to Texas with 28.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I remember Price's contract with the SOX that would pay him 1 mil for every game he started. Looks like peanuts compared to Sale's 1.5 mil per inning.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Well it actually maths out to 14mil/yr. Giving JBJ 12mil/yr really messes up the value chart.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'm also thinking that if he was offered an extension for a certain number of years, would he accept less than 16 mil/yr? Maybe 3 yrs at 42 mil?
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If that's the case, SOX fans will have to pin their hopes on Casas.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Sanchez is like the 2nd base version of JBJ.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Winck's good job against the weak Royals tonight makes what Pivetta did last night look even worse.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Not a first vote selection, but down the road I think he has a great chance. Unfortunately for him his last 3 seasons have been pretty average or less.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Haven't seen this amount of offense in a while. Btw, when you see so many players who shouldn't be in MLB and the powers that be want more expansion, it's utterly ridiculous.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just checked Greinke's lifetime pitching stats. 222 wins 138 losses ERA of 3.44 WHIP 1.16 Those are way above average lifetime stats. He had 3 great years with the Dodgers from 2013-2015, where he was one of the elite pitchers in MLB. In 2015 he was 19-3, an amazing ERA of 1.66 and an equally amazing WHIP of 0.84.
